Residents in South West to share views of police in anonymous study

A first-of-its-kind, national study has launched calling on the people of the South West to share their views and experiences of the police and emergency services.

The anonymous study is hosted online by Hudgell Solicitors, legal specialists in civil liberties cases, and will gauge the nation’s perceptions of the police and other emergency services. 

The study’s findings will explore themes including safety, trust and overall reputation, investigating the experiences Brits have had with the police, how the nation feels about the force and what has impacted on their perceptions, from portrayal by the media to their own personal experiences.

People from the South West can share their views by completing the study here: https://www.hudgellsolicitors.co.uk/civil-liberties/policing-in-the-uk/

Neil Hudgell, Managing Director of Hudgell Solicitors said: “We’re currently living through times of uncertainty and policing is a hot topic, especially following the recent General Elections. With this in mind, and as a firm which represents clients across the country in cases relating to the conduct of the police and other emergency services, we are hosting this study to explore the nation’s views. The findings will help to paint a picture of perceptions around trust, security and reputation on a national scale. We’d urge people across the South West to share their views.”
